I totally thought of my evangelist family in the Lord when I read this...
"First, this title, "Jesus our Lord," gives us great confidence in our common service. As a Christian church, we are all working for Jesus; I hope I may say that the members of this church are all seeking the glory of God. Then, let us remember what our Lord said to his disciples, ere he went back to his Father, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." March on, then, ye armies of the living God, for Christ is your Lord, and he has given you your commission, and it is his power which will make your march to be victorious. Does any man think of turning his back in the day of battle when he has such a Captain as this to lead him? Does anyone dream of defeat, or talk in a halfhearted way, of what the issue of the conflict is certain to be? "Jesus our Lord" is the world's Creator,—he that can shake heaven, and earth with his word. So, in his name let us set up our banners, and march onward confident of victory."
C.H. Spugeon - "Jesus our Lord" Romans 4:24
